Our time on this planet is very short and we ought to use it wisely by earnestly seeking the kingdom of God that shall reign and stand forever. Therefore, everyone who has ears should run the race which Christ has set before them, so that in the end they may receive the reward of the faithful servant. Remember that apart from the kingdom of God, every other thing is vanity upon vanity, and like vapor, it will not last forever. Therefore, labor hard to do the will of God even if it costs you everything, and do all you can to live a righteous and virtuous life, pleasing to God our Father in heaven, who sees and knows all things.
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.’’
1 Corinthians 9:24
